Screening at the Kulturscheune Eibenhof

The pubs in Vienna’s working-class neighbourhood are Erich ‘Rickerl’ Bohacek’s living room and stage: in the thick smoke of cigarettes, he plays his way into the hearts of those who hang out there every night for pocket money. While Rickerl’s ex-girlfriend Viki lives a middle-class life with her new boyfriend, he ekes out a living with odd jobs and doesn’t have enough money to take his six-year-old son Dominik to the cinema. Rickerl, free spirit and chaotic at the same time, is always getting in his own way. Only when he is in danger of losing everything does he find his very own, endearingly quirky solution to steer his life in the right direction.

Adrian Goiginger’s RICKERL is a melancholy and emotional comedy full of music, passion and hearty pub banter. Austrian singer-songwriter Voodoo Jürgens, whose songs are closely interwoven into the plot, lends Rickerl a musical soul in his first leading role.

‘An endearing little hymn to the Viennese scene and the many facets of Austropop. Very leiwand – really great!‘ Programmkino.de

‘Hope and humour, depth and lightness, touching and entertaining. In his new film ‘Rickerl – Musik is höchstens a Hobby’, Adrian Goiginger manages to effortlessly juxtapose all of this.‘ noen.at

Followed by a film talk with actress Agnes Hausmann.
